GAETLENT-SECURING MEANS FOR BELT BUCKLES.

Application led June 9,

To all iii/mm t may concern:

Be it known that l. Janus W. SHARBUTT, a citizen the 'United Slteutes3 residing; at Troy. in the c unty of liell State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Garment-Securing l for Belt Buckles. of which the foltu is a specification.

in carr(y out the present invention it is my purpose to .provide a means whereby i es of trousers supporting belts may be s cured. to the trousers in a novel and simple manner for precluding theV slipping of the buckles to one side of the front of the trousers or above the same.

The primary object of this invention resides in the provision of a l ylt buckle where .in the sam-e is formed or otherwise equipped with one member of a separable fastener adapted with which another member of a separable fastener is carried by the garment. the two members adapted to be so connected for functioningl as above described.

The nature and advantages of the invenf tion will be better understood when the following detailed description is read in connection with the accompanying' drawings. the invention residing in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts as claimed.

In the drawings forming` part of this application, like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views. and wherein Figure 'l is a rear elevation of the belt buckle equipped with one member of separable fastener.

Figure 2 is a fragmentary front elevation of a pair of trousers provided with the other member of a separable fasteneri and,

Fia'ure 3-is a cross-section throuejh the buckle and trousers showing the elements of the fastener joined.

Referring' to the drawing i. detail 5g designates a belt buckle frame or any desirable form and having` a loop 5 mounted thereon. ln the furtherance of my invention the inner side of this buckle 5 is preferably formed with a female member 6 of a well known type of separable fastener7 it being, however, understood that this member may be a separable part of the buckle and secured thereto in any suitable manner. This mem- 1923. Serial No. 544,333.

ber 6 is preferably disposed within a pocket 7 formed in the inner side of said buckle 5 for consequently allowing' the buckle to have close contact throughout its longitudinal surface with the garment.

ln Figures 2 and 3, 8 designates generally a pair of trousers which carries at its front side the male member 9 of the said female fastener, it Abeing within the Scope of this invention to provide thismember of said fasener upon a button element l() that engages through buttonholes of the garment for maintaining,r the usual opening' in the front side thereof closed.

ln view of the above description it will at once be apparent that after the belt which carries the buckle 5 has been adjusted around the waist of the wearer the buckle 5 is moved to a position directly forwardly of the male element 9 of the separable fastener' whereby7 the same may be inserted within the female member 6 of the buckle for consequently preventing any movement of the same.

Numerous advantages of the device of this character will be readily appreciated and even though i have herein set forth the most practical embodiment to the invention with which i am familiar it is nevertheless to be understood that minor changes may be made therein without departing; from the spirit and scope as claimed.

Having; described my intention, what I claim and desire to secure b v Letters Patent^ isrl A nari ent belt structure comprisingr a strap. a nickle frame applied to the strap and having a loop.. there being slots provided at the upper and lower sides of the frame and located under the loop and disposed at acute angles to the inner surface of the loop. the frame being provided at its inner wall with an upstruck portion. the surface of which is approximat-elf,7 parallel with the side edges of the Slots, a pin movably mounted in the slots and disposed transversely across said upstruck portion of the frame, and a female securing member applied to the outer surface of the angularly disposed wall of the upstruck portion of the frame and adapted to engage a securing device carried by the garment.

ln testimony whereof I aiiir my signature.

JAMES W. SHARBUTT.
